36 Pubs and Bars found in or around Hackney Wick (London Overground)

Hackney Wick, located close to the Olympic site, is a fascinating area. As the last of it's industrial legacy shuts up shop, it is being taken over by artists and other creative type, attracted by the cheap rents (or the ripe...

We were pleasantly surprised when we were in last - the refurb earlier this year has removed the worst bits of previous incarnations of this pub and left it with a tasteful interior with plenty of comfy sofas and tables to...

Pubs in shopping centres often suffer for the transience of their clientele, but Tap East is working to provide a good experience. Right next to the new Stratford International train station in Westfield Stratford City, it's...

Despite being part of the Mr Q's pub chain - the Costcutter of the pub world - this is ostensibly quite a good pub. The pretty early 20th century exterior, along with the original leaded glass and wood panelling lead you to...
